Last week we told you about ex-Prada employee Rina Bovrisse, who claimed she was fired after Prada Japan CEO, Davide Sesia told her she needed to lose weight and was ashamed of her ugliness.
Now the label is responding to her public outcry in a statement:
Following the many press reports published on Ms. Bovrisse's termination of employment by Prada Japan, Prada once again stresses that Ms. Bovrisse's accusations regarding an alleged misconduct of the company towards her have no ground. Prada also wishes to underline that the Japanese competent Court has dismissed all of the employee's accusations and has ruled that the termination of her employment was perfectly legitimate.
But that's not stopping Rina! She plans to collect more witnesses and file a lawsuit.
Good luck with that.

Looks like the Japanese are getting a hard reality check to the ugly side of the fashion industry.
Turns out Prada Japan CEO, Davide Sesia, doesn't want anyone working at his Prada stores that's "old, fat, ugly, disgusting or not having the Prada look."
According to Rina Bovrisse, a senior retail manager for Prada Japan with over 18 years of experience in the international fashion industry, the Prada heads only want good looking employees.
This sounds a bit Abercrombie & Fitch to us.
And last May when Sesia toured 40 of their stores, he asked Bovrisse to "eliminate" about 15 managerial staff that were too ugly. Human resources later notified 13 employees they were being transferred due to "poor sales."
Sesia then had a meeting with Bovrisse where he reportedly wanted her to "change her hairstyle, to lose weight" because he was "ashamed of Ms Bovrisse's ugliness" and didn't want Italian visitors to see her.
Later in November, the company placed her on involuntary leave and that's when she started her lawsuit the following month.
Sad that it took her getting fired to sue. She should have spoken up or sued when the douche asked her to fire the "ugly and old" staff members.
Victoria's Secret models Alessandra Ambrosio, Doutzen Kroes and Miranda Kerr traded in their lingerie for some actual clothes at Prada's Fall 2010 fashion show during Milan Fashion Week.
Miuccia Prada admits she cast the Angels because of their figures "It’s normal clothes–the silhouette of the ‘90s, but using many different kinds of models who are much more womanly.”
While they may not be the rail thin models that usually walk the runway, we will give Prada props for casting curvier models, if you can call them that.
Doutzen Kroes says she was happy to walk in the show, saying it was nice to see "a change in more healthy looking women on the runway."

This peacock color scheme obsession needs to stop.
Jessica Alba showed up to the London premiere Valentine's Day wearing some heinous blue Miu Miu lace up boots.
The Prada dress is alright, it's just too bad no one could actually appreciate it because those shoes.
Stop dressing yourself and hire a stylist. We know you have money, even if your movies suck.
